Hike Sweden

This item appears on page 104 of the February 2008 issue.

Southern Sweden’s Skåne area offers more than 600 miles of trails organized into 80 different day hikes. Most trails pass through private land open to hikers, others pass through villages and nature reserves, and some follow Bronze Age petroglyphs.

Six trail maps are available at SEK150 (near $23) each, including shipping. Two maps describe biking trails. Contact the official Skåne tourism office (Stortorget 9, SE-211 22 Malmö, Sweden; phone +46 040 20 96 00, www.skane.com) or order through the Skaneleden trail organization at www.skaneleden.org.
